Wow. Thank your for sharing this very personal story during a very vulnerable time in your life. It was written in such a lovely way. Really painted a picture of that moment in your life. I felt your connection to England.

Oh, Katie, it's a pleasure to hear you like my writing as a native speaker - my self doubt is strong. ) It was quite therapeutic to pour this out - thank you for reading. And all of your other comments about moving countries - I do hope there will be a welcome family or friend for everyone.
